Reply to comment by bigjilm123 in Study demonstrates that how effectively an individual awakens in the hours following sleep is associated four independent factors: sleep quantity/quality the night before, physical activity the day prior, a breakfast rich in carbohydrate, and a lower blood glucose response following breakfast. by the_phet

What do you mean by saying "that is easier for the insulin to work on"? Fat and carbs, when eaten together, produce vastly higher spikes in blood glucose levels, so wouldn't that be much more difficult for a diabetic?

Edit: also, be careful with all that rollin' and a wheelin'.

I’m Type 1, and fat slows down the absorption of carbs for me. Example is pizza - I could eat a pizza crust and sauce and dose it pretty easily. Add in the cheese and it results in delaying the BG spike causing the classic pizza rollercoaster. It’s quite maddening as it’s my favourite food and one of the most difficult for me to eat.
